ADING
NOTE: Towing regulations vary
depending upon the country you are
visiting. It is important that you
make yourself aware of each
country’s regulations before you
visit.
Axle Loads
Individual axles have upper limits. The sum of
the two axle upper limits usually exceeds the
overall vehicle MTPLM, but this does not mean
you can load each axle to its maximum, because
doing so would exceed the overall MTPLM of the
whole vehicle.
Loading And Distribution Of Weight In
The Motorhome
Safely store tables, be it freestanding or
fixed to the wall, into the dedicated storage
compartment.
Items fitted other than standard equipment
will deplete the payload stated in the Service
Handbook.
Roof Loading
Prior to fitting any type for roof mounted
item please consult with your Bailey retailer
to ensure the roof has the correct structural
provisions to accept the item.
Do not allow children to climb on the roof of
your motorhome.
Roof rack bars and ladders are an aftermarket
option and if you are considering them, care
should be taken to ensure that all items can be
safely secured.
Maximum load within the area encompassed
by the roof rack should not exceed 75kg (165lb)
with a maximum loading of 24kg per meter
2
(8Kg (17lbs) per square foot.)
WARNING: Take special care when
on the roof particularly in wet or
frosty weather conditions, as the
surface could be slippery. Always
wear practical footwear when
climbing onto your vehicle.
Bike Rack Loading
Your motorhome is fitted with bike rack rail fixing
points. When fitting a bike rack check with the
manufacturer that it is a motorhome approved
rack and ensure that safety regulations and
weight restrictions are adhered to.
